Don’t stop yet! They might still remove incorrectly filed entries.

Games on Steam that are “Verified” also give you that plug-and-play experience on a Deck

You’re expecting to get reliable info from YT comments and Tiktoks?

Weird that specifically foldables are excluded

Not what I’d call easy. But still neat

Sir I think you have stumbled into the wrong sublemmy

I guess we should also force everyone to use wheelchairs because they are great for paraplegics.

Even “heavy” linux distros are easy to run for a pc capable of running and streaming modern games. Lightweight distros are mostly relevant for older or underpowered hardware.

Have you checked out https://openrazer.github.io/#devices

I agree. My previous phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro, the last one with a pop-up camera. I only ever used that camera as a party trick, didn’t take a single real photo with it. The only reason I switched to Motorola edge 50 is because the OnePlus hadn’t gotten security updates in 2 years and it’s second battery was also starting to degrade. I’d use an aftermarket ROM but my banking app probably won’t like that. The Motorola is fine I guess. The punch hole doesn’t often get in the way. But it’ll never be quite as cool as the 7 pro…

The easy path to getting storefronts like EA working is through Lutris. It does all the setup for you through guided wizards. I can’t help much with deciding a distro tho, I’ve been using Fedora for years and that works well enough but is not exactly gaming focussed.

I agree but in this case an unlocked bootloader is unlikely to help. These niche devices rarely get good roms

There are benchmarks on the huggingface page. The larger model is close to GPT4o performance. Which makes this worse than deepseek-r1. But it is a smaller model and not a reasoning model (doesn’t use up extra tokens to “think”). So still very impressive and important for open source.

Yeah the steam deck will be faster than that. 4K video editing? Not gonna be great but it might be tolerable. 1080p? Heck yeah.

Frame gen is interpoplation. It does introduce latency. But nvidia has Reflex to offset some of that

For games that the deck struggles to run?

You want us to yell out our credit card details over the phone like the good old days?

HardwareUnboxed did a with/without ray tracing comparison. TL;DR in most games it’s not worth the performance hit. Don’t bother with ray tracing for now, especially on low or mid-range hardware. https://youtu.be/DBNH0NyN8K8

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.
